Good Cores
In Pokemon, the word "core" refers a group of 2 or More Pokemon which work well together. Whether this be through synergy, coverage, or removing each other's counters, there are any cores that have been discovered and proven to work well, and many cores yet to be discovered. Having a solid core is the starting point of building a solid team.The purpose of this thread is to both discuss cores that work well in the current meta-game, and make a database of cores for anyone to use. All cores posted in this thread will be posted here in the OP, unless silly, or ineffective.
When posting cores, please use this format:
